6. Supporting Casts

The Rock versus Triple H in 1998 had become a battle of fortified stable leaders on the rise. Triple H had taken over the reigns of DX from Shawn Michaels and the band had become tighter than ever before. Meanwhile, The Rock had overthrown Faarooq as leader of The Nation and his popularity would only skyrocket in the months to come. Thus, while Triple H was accompanied ringside by his bodyguard Chyna, The Rock brought his own plus one in fellow Nation member 'The World's Strongest Man' Mark Henry. The two stables had become very familiar with one another throughout the Triple H/Rock feud, and they had just the right formula to produce two of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling.
